Whatcha workin on?

Did a bit of studio rearranging (drawers and shelves were not all in the optimal locations so I fixed that), but I ran out of steam and realized I've been fighting something off for days. Sore throat since Saturday night. Tired. Decided to take a nap, but I'm not sleepy, just tired. Ok, no nap. I don't really know how to rest…[Read more]

I've had a cold since Monday and the cold medicine seems to be making my head loopy today, so apologies if I'm a bit rambling today. I wanted to write down some thoughts and not skip this week.

First, @tanja-osswald about running a-longs: Along with posting about it to my newsletter and on my Instagram and Facebook, I took out Ravelry ads for it.…[Read more]

Whatcha Working On?
The usual. Lots of things, not enough time. Kind of on top of things, but really, not.

What's Going Well?
I got my A System of Grading Course up despite life impacts. I need to improve the selling pages, but don't have time right now. My goal is to improve them by May 31.

I have to get a chart and then a series of mirrored…[Read more]

Thanks @carmen-nuland. I must have misread the email. Last time I came for the chat there were technical difficulties so I was afraid they were still occurring. Oh well, better luck next week.

@tabitha-dukes – the weekly Starship email I received this morning said that since Tara was going to be out of town, she was only going to be at the 11am Eastern time chat. It could be that everyone else skipped the second chat then.

I saw your post @tanja-osswald and replied but not sure if anyone else can see it. I also don't see Tara there so I am going to assume that the holodeck is still having technical difficulties and go about my business. Please let me know if time or dates have changed.

Thanks a lot, @carmen-nuland!

@tabitha-dukes, I could post on the holodeck but I saw no posts of other captains. Might be because no-one else posted at that time…

I have been out of the loop for a couple of weeks – travel prep and actual travel. The holodeck appears to not be operational. Is it still having issues or am I here on the wrong day?

For my check in

@carmen-nuland I think you have to ask yourself why you want to go and what you think you'll get out of it. You will get out of it what you want if you know what you want! Sometimes you get different answers than you anticipated, but it might be just what you need! You don't say what conference, so hard to be specific.

Thanks @linda-tieu! It felt huge.

Um, yeah, I misread it! Talk of the BCS dinner and the Fashion Show totally confused me!

YES, as Jill suggested and everyone agreed: SATURDAY, 5:30-7, then let's walk over and get dinner!
I wanna be at the Fashion Show on Friday to cheer everyone on, so if you see me there, do come over and say hi and let's hang out!

I've put it on the…[Read more]

Thanks @dana-gervais!I'm getting sales, which is awesome!

What Jess said!
It comes down to getting cozy with your best fans and just making EVERYTHING for them. The classes they want, the blog posts, the Instagram posts.
When you're starting something new, it can be hard, so you wanna work on connecting with your first fans, then keep paying attention to find your most enthusiastic fans.

@jill-wolcott I've posted it in a couple of FB groups for knitwear designers and tech editors…

Thank you, @jess-cook Penny and I have been in touch. Thank you, @carmen-nuland I'll be in touch. 🙂

Whatcha workin on?
A crochet shawl design and a set of knit washcloths. I'm visiting my in-laws this weekend (extended weekend in the US), which usually means I can get a lot of crafting done.

What’s going well?
I seem to be over my crafting mojo slump! I think I've said that a couple of times now, but when I find I'd rather stay up and knit t…[Read more]

what's going well
Most everything. I had a long talk with my washing machine this morning and it promises to drain properly after helping me wash the basement last night.

whatcha' workin' on?
Getting everything ready for TNNA and a weekend away immediately after. Many moving pieces need to coordinate.

how can we help? I'm good.

Thank you Jess! Dana and I have already begun an email conversation. 🙂
